The protest follows weeks of public harassment against Republican leaders.

In June, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was harassed and booted from a Virginia restaurant by the owners.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was confronted by a group of protesters in his home state of Kentucky in July who told him that they ‘know where he lives.’

The powerful Republican senator was having lunch in Louisville with a state legislator when a group of activists approached him and shouted ‘Abolish ICE.’

Just a couple weeks prior, his wife, Elaine Chao, furiously defended her husband in a shouting match with immigration protesters who confronted them as they departed an event at Georgetown University.

The public harassment against Republicans was encouraged by Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters.

Waters said in a statement: ‘Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd.

‘And you push back on them… you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere. We’ve got to get the children connected to their parents.’
